Gonna Take a Lifetime

I know you've been discouraged

And love has never been a friend to me

We both wandered in just in time

To find out that love was still waiting

It was just like in the movies

My hero came to rescue me

We moved through the night holding on

There's no letting go now that we both believe

And I believe in you and me

It's gonna take a lifetime

To get out of this one

It's gonna be forever this time

Like the waters run deep

Our love will be strong

It's gonna take a lifetime

To convince me I'm wrong

The night is slowly fading

The shadows trace your every move

The look in your eyes telling me:

"Baby, I can't live without you"

Now my heart has found its cradle

And your love has found a place to call its own

Somehow I know, oh-whoa

Somehow we've finally found our way home

It's gonna take a lifetime

To get out of this one

It's gonna be forever this time

Like the waters run deep

Our love is so strong

It's gonna take a lifetime

To convince me I'm wrong

I'm watching you, so breathlessly

I know sometimes you're watching me

When we get close, it takes me higher

Than I ever dreamed

I'm gonna love you endlessly

Endlessly, yeah

It's gonna take a lifetime

To get out of this one, baby

Now I never doubted our love would survive

I'm right here for ya, baby

It's gonna take a lifetime

To get out of this one

It's gonna be forever this time

Like the waters run deep

This love, this love will be strong

It's gonna take forever

To convince me I'm wrong

Convince me I'm wrong, yeah

Like the waters run deep

This love is so strong

It's gonna take a lifetime

To get out of this one, oh...
